Share this post

We are happy to announce that Destiny of Spirits will be launching in PAL regions exclusively on the PlayStation Vita on 26th March, 2014. Other regions will also be releasing the game around the same time, so you’ll be able to start playing and making friends around the world. We hope everyone has a chance to play Destiny of Spirits, as it is a fun, addictive RPG-ish strategy game that offers true meaning of having friends around the world. If you haven’t heard of Destiny of Spirits, check out the trailer above!

What’s new?

Thanks to everyone’s contribution during the closed beta in October last year, we were able to collect valuable feedback and spend time to improve gameplay and game balance! Here are some new and improved features that came out of our beta feedback:

Reduced load time and increased gameplay speed

Increased spirit levels to allow for deeper spirit progression

Increased number of spirit slots to allow players to have a greater variety of spirits

Numerous Spirit Point requirement updates that allow your Spirit Points to go further

Playing Destiny of Spirits with friends

You will truly experience the benefits of having friends around the world in Destiny of Spirits. The more friends you have, the better off you will be in-game! Having friends in Destiny of Spirits has a number of advantages, so go play and make a lot of friends all over the world. Interaction with fellow players from around the world will enable you to trade spirits and obtain unique Spirits only available in certain regions – your friends in Japan and Europe will have an entirely different set of Spirits that you’ll want to get a hold of to use in battle!

We’re dedicated to improve the game even after launch, so we will continue to listen to your valuable feedback. Please feel free to share your thoughts after playing the game too, we’re always listening.

Please stay tuned for more information about the game and future events for Destiny of Spirits!

Jawad (if you’re around) I’ve just put up a comment in this weeks Store update asking for help as I’ve been charged money for download Pixeljunk. Been in touch with Sony via phone and Emails but they’ve been no help. Sorry for hijacking this bit Yuasa-san :)

I think the Destiny of Spirits beta was my most intensely played game on the Vita so far. I wonder though if they really managed to fix some of the biggest concerns and annoyances, as none of those points is managed under “What is new”. :(

Trading, for example, was really a pain. You offer a creature and you could only receive one counteroffer for that creature. If someone continually made counteroffers far below your creature’s value, he effectively blocked all potentially interesting offers.Not to mention that it was ridiculous that you had to check every single friend’s account, for what creatures they put online. A trading screen, combining everything on one site is a must.

I also wonder how the currencies and exclusive spirits will be balanced. In the beta Toro and Kuro were imho absolutely OP, if combined.

The beta was one of the most bland and boring things I’ve ever played. Whoever designed the UI needs to take a few design lessons, I’ve rarely seen such a garbled mess of ugly, clashing fonts. There’s hardly any animation on the spirits and combat is about as much fun as watching paint dry. I can’t really think of anything positive to say about this game. It’s on the same level as any other cheaply produced “free”-2-play game on phones and tablets. Avoid this if you like engaging gameplay!

Play a great game such as Ys: Memories of Celceta or Toukiden: The Age of Demons instead. You’ll get much more enjoyment out of your precious time investment.

What the VITA needs is more GOOD JRPG’s, Persona4 is like the best game the handheld has. I’m totally a Sony fanboy but I do play the Nintendo 3DS 99% more of my time JUST because of this. All these shitty RPGs the Vita gets just doesn’t make the cut! Yes, I own tons of awesome PS Classics thank god, but I wish I would see brand new IP’s too like the 3DS’s Bravely Default.

I loved the Beta, Played it too bits (more than im actually comfortable with….)Ever since the Beta, its left a hole i could not fill for a quick, fast, and active RPG.

@cowbananawow, what a lol of a read…. im not a fan of F2P android games and stuff, but this isnt “just another one” and neither is it “not engaging”It might not look the best, but to be honest, i haven’t found a game i can pay for that will match it.

I haven’t played a YS game before, but since your comparing it to Toukiden: The Age of Demons, a game that works totally differently, and cannot really be compared to this, make me believe Destiny of Spirits is not a game for you anyway.

can’t wait. It is going to feel like forever before it comes. so glad it’s coming been wondering about it. I played the beta was so disapointed when it was removed. I looked forward to playing it every day. ;-)

I downloaded the beta and was looking forward to giving it a go but from the start the loading was atrocious. After 5 minutes of waiting , quit out tried again and it was the same, only this time after 6 minutes of waiting for the game to load (yes I actually kept time count) I just deleted it. I was really disappointed I couldn’t try the beta. Will download it again when its released and hopefully I will be able to play it.
